Please Tell Me This Is A Joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sharlan]

It appears that the ad is gone.

[Breezy]

Oh has to be a joke. Please be a joke.

[Country Kids]

OH MY GOSH!!! I didn't comprehend the joke part and thought the op was saying this about herself! I so need sleep, this reminds me about the union post and I kept thinking it said onions.::::::

Wow...just...Wow. That can't be real but if it is, they should talk to their local CYF office about how to more appropriately and humanely deal with their child.

Maybe it's a sorority prank? Here's hoping!

Sounds to me like it's just a DC provider or similar sort being sarcastic of all the unrealistic requests that parents make for such little money. I highly doubt that anyone is stupid enough to be serious about any of those things and then post it online (thumbtacks and a corner in a basement ... please ). Sounds like someone poking fun at unrealistic and demanding parents.

[MommyofThree]

i think my eyeballs fell out of my head when I read the part about the thumb tack chair....

This is a sick joke I hope to god.... Keep us posted on what happens with this...

yep ad is gone. But CPS did look at it while I was on the phone so maybe they contacted them:confused:

yes but for a dc person to even say such horrible things. come on that is just sick

There was a mother like that on Dr. Phil. Used syrup of ipacec on her kid whenever he made her angry. There are people out there who think they are truly doing that type of punishment is ok for a kid

[2ndFamilyDC]

I called CPS and they cant do much because theres no name or address!!!!!!!!!!!! But she is contacting the cops

Good, hope the police can track down this person. Even if it is a joke they need to have some consequences for placing this ad.

I read it with my mouth hanging open, I just could not belive it.

She doesn't want him to have junk food but doesn't mind poisoning him with syrup of ipecac? If it's not used for medicinal purposes....I would call that poisoning. Horrifying.

I giggled at the harmless bugs in the corner... The parent's choice of "approved" television viewings left something to be desired. And I couldn't help but think if you don't want your kid to EAT junk food, then don't BUY junk food!!

On a side note, a lot of places don't even sell syrup of ipecac anymore. My MIL (retired dc provider) asked me if I had any, and I don't. I can't find it, even if I was required to have it. However Poison Control said that they don't recommend using it anymore anyway.

My mistake, I googled it after (on my tablet I can't copy and paste :confused and it was actually hot sauce!! either way, bad, bad, bad. I'll paste a link here, cuz it's just too hard to believe!
It's called Momy Confessions
